trust me when i say, what i did to the headlights tonite ... will most certainly stand out ... i may have even gone a bit overboard ...

now i just need window tints and shes completely blacked/ murdered out

and the best part is ... every single thing ... EVERYTHING ... can be undone, and the car can be returned to stock ... i can put the badges back on, peel the rims, sand down the headlights and taillights, put the letters back on the trunk ...

and it all cost me less than probably 100 dollars ...

Cool! Never even heard of 'plastidipping' before. I've always liked black wheels. More of a sporty / race-inspired look than chrome. Well done.

so beyond the eyebrows, here is the shape i roughed in solid niteshades on the headlights ... this area is totally black, then i did about two coats on top of the clear areas, to give the illusion of total niteshades, but with the functionality, of nearly none at all ... the following pictures are on the car ... sorry about it being so dark, the sky, not the car, it was darker than i thought when i left the movie theater after seeing suckerpunch ( waste of time btw )

unfortunately, i ran out of time at work this weekend, and was not able to wet sand and buff the top layer of clear coat, so they appear somewhat matte insted of gloss ... and are about 80 percent as bright as they will be once finished ...

enjoy fellas ...
